Comparative analysis of somatic morbidity of habitants suffering from depressive disorders in the heilongjiang province of china and the Khabarovsk region of Russia

Abstract

Actual research revealed definite differences in the condition of somatic health of the population of the transboundary regions of Russia and China in the Amur River region. The conducted interdisciplinary research provides opportunities for a deeper understanding of the causes and mechanisms of develop-ment of mental disabilities against the background of general morbidity. The use of ethnocultural ap-proaches makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation and pre-vention of somatic, mental and behavioural disabilities. A model of the organisation of therapeutic and psychiatric care in transboundary regions is proposed, which will increase the level of social and indi-vidual somatic and mental health.
